Writing from the location of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
On Thursday morning, the president and the first lady visited Massachusetts for their usual Thanksgiving routine. They handed out pumpkin pies to police officers, firefighters, and medics on Nantucket. They also contacted members of the armed services, upholding a tradition that they have been doing since 1975.
During a rainy day on Thursday, when most people stayed indoors, President Biden visited the Nantucket fire station. He greeted and interacted with the officers on duty, even exchanging baseball caps with them, while walking around the station with his grandson Beau.
The president thought deeply about the current political atmosphere in the United States and encouraged Americans to stay true to their values, avoid overly pessimistic stories, and be mindful about where they get their news from.
After observing recent polls showing that many Americans are worried about the state of the country, Mr. Biden suggested that this could be due to a decrease in viewership of traditional news sources and the negative outlook often portrayed on television.
He mentioned that there could be a reason for that. When you watch television, you tend to see mostly negative news.
Despite urging Americans to stay positive during uncertain times, the president acknowledged that President-elect Donald J. Trump may face challenges in the future. He suggested that Congress may push for changes to some of Mr. Trump’s plans, and also made some subtle criticisms of his successor’s recent proposals.
